St John's Charity shop🚑

Fiona from Henderson

Does anyone know what has happened to the St John's Charity shop that was located in Henderson, which now sits completely vacant?

I've checked on their website and the only St John shops that are now open are the followinig: Browns Bay, Howick, Manukau, Onehunga, Papakura & Wairau Park - NONE OUT WEST!

I wonder if was because the actual customers buying had dropped dramitically of the last 12 months or so.
If it is the reason, I'm not surprised as they had priced so many of their items close to retail prices as so many other second hand places seem to be doing now; Savemart is a perfect example of a second hand place doing this dreaful practice.

I know most of them are for charity and want money for their (mostly) worthy causes, but surely selling second (sometimes third or fourth) hand goods, retail pricing doesn't occur, unless it's an antique shop of course.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Dental Magic

CMDental Ltd

Once upon a time on Lincoln Road Henderson
Dentist: “Don’t worry, Mr. Smith. This will be quick and painless.”

The dentist holds a toothbrush like a magic wand.

Dentist: “Abracadabra!”

The toothbrush sparkles and glows. Suddenly, the patient’s teeth start to shine brightly.

Patient: “Wow! That was amazing! My teeth have never looked this good!”

Well at CM Dental we rely on skill and technique more than magic but we get great results!
